REPLAY: Tao Lin on Psychedelics, Attention, and Change
Otherppl with Brad Listi | Books & Culture
Trip as a Recovery Narrative
Brad and Tao discuss Trip as an unconventional account of renewal, recovery, and using drugs deliberately rather than recklessly or escapistically.
Today on the program, a trip into the archive and a return to Episode 521, my conversation with Tao Lin, author of Trip: Psychedelics, Attention, and Change (Vintage).
Air date: May 20, 2018.

His writing has appeared in The New York Times Book Review, Harper's Magazine, Granta, The Paris Review, NOON, and elsewhere.
